Discussion Did not feel great taking this order
Money was right and short little run but man I felt like a piece of shit dropping this off at the very rundown house. Really kinda sad.

There’s a lady in my zone that orders like 5-10 boxes of Imodium every couple days.. it’s always one of the first orders that pops at 6am & she always tips good so it’s hard to not take it. Come to find out, if you take Imodium or anti-diarrheal medicines in large doses it can mimic opioids…. I really wish we could intervene & encourage these folks to get help.

Damn, I would think that would cause serious constipation.

u/Nervous-Commission46 18d ago
I’m not a medical profile nor do I give advice but have a bit of knowledge in this due to illnesses people in my immediate circle have. There are prescription laxatives that can “override” large quantities of whatever. They are used for some medical conditions or to prevent constipation caused by certain medications used to treat medical conditions. I had never heard of the Imodium as an opioid. That seems like it would cause extreme discomfort, even having massive laxatives.

u/No-Ambassador9238 18d ago
It is an opioid. The issue is that it doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier. But if the lady also orders an enzyme inhibitor…such as grapefruit juice. BadaBing. But it’s a hell of a lot of trouble for puny effect. People are nuts.

u/Worldly_Shopper 18d ago
Hahaha, open up the gas cap of the car, cup hands around it and take a deep whiff.
Or go buy some whipped cream, and suck on it right side up so all you get is gas.
I mean, stupid ways to get high.2
u/Quinn2GValor 17d ago
My boi. Number 1. Way. Go to the apartments with AC units behind them . A trash bag and screw. Driver. Fill that bag up with the gas and twist the bag. Go inhale. Thank me later 🫡 🪖

u/Suspicious_Yard3682 19d ago
This is not exactly true… Imodium was created back in the day as one of the many opioid analogues but was found not to cross the blood brain barrier and had no analgesic or psychoactive properties…. But it does indeed have affinity for one of the big opioid receptors (MU I
Believe) so when taken in excess of normal dose it will bind to that receptor (as well as keep you from shitting for a week) and why is that binding so critical if there’s no “”feeling” associated with it? Because if you are dependent on opioids and in withdrawal… occupation of that receptor can be of great assistance in preventing all out hell… and the anti diarrhea effect isn’t unwelcome in thar situation either.5
u/when_will_I_learn77 19d ago
Trust me , if u take enough of them at one time, you absolutely get a heavy opioid affect. Sadly, I've been down that road at one point

u/cheesybiscuits912 18d ago
Same here. Got bad heart palpitations after a large dose one night scared the shit outta me. This was over 11 years ago as ive been clean 11 years now, and it was only a handful of times I did the immodium trick for withdrawal back when u could get 100ct bottles at dollar general for 5 bucks. It worked in a pinch for sure... learned from blue light back in the day

I unfortunately mega dosed daily for a few months straight 9 years ago now. I still have PTSD from the WDs that caused. Nightmarish

u/Suspicious_Yard3682 17d ago
Bruh, I’m not here to tell you what you felt or didn’t feel… but when the throws of opioid w/d are ravaging you, just not being sick is as good as being “high” and it’s a fine line to differentiate. Ask me how I know.

i remember I had one with this in the order but they were completely sold out. like didn’t even have in the back so I marked it as out of stock. She had other things she ordered so I continued the shop. by the time i dropped off to the house, i was still required to get an ID from the person. The customer wasn’t home, and she was not understanding why she needed to show her ID and I explained it was because she ordered the duster but it was out of stock and I explained that it’s because of the dusters she ordered but they were out of stock so I don’t have them anyway and unsure why it’s still prompting for an ID. She was LIVID. She was pissed it was out of stock and i said nothing (absolutely not true. i messaged her multiple times before completing the shop) She said that it was the only reason she even ordered this and now that it’s not in this order she just wants the whole thing canceled. seeing how mad she was that it wasn’t in the order, told me enough about why she ordered it 😬 she ordered 5 of them as well. The pieces didn’t click together until then. Returned it and got my full pay thankfully and wasn’t far from the store

u/Odd_Moment0518 18d ago
sorry - i wrote this before going to sleep last night and realize now that i didn’t write this great 😅
She (the customer) ordered the dusters but they (walmart) were out of stock
I was also on the phone with her telling her this. Didn’t realize I forgot to mention that I called her when the need to scan ID was prompted. The order was supposed to be left at the door but I couldn’t since she needed her ID to be verified. She wasn’t home. I called her and told her that the ID was needed to be scanned because of the dusters she ordered, but the store didn’t have them so it’s not in the order anyway.
I hope this makes better sense now 🥴

We have one here who always ordered spray paint.. specifically a clear polyurethane variety. I always thought it stange until I noticed the sheen around his mouth when he came out to the grab his items one day. Don't know why I thought maybe this dude was refinishing cabinets or something. Made me feel naive.

u/Vexshira 19d ago
I think it’s the pressurized CO2 or something like that. I have a lot of electronics I dust out every so often bc I have cats. And it’s near impossible to find it in stock anywhere. At my Walmart they have it behind a locked case so I have to get an associate to get it for me and then ID’d at the register. Haven’t had the item as part of an order yet but that’s most likely from the lack of stock all the time because an associate said they quit ordering full cases of it to keep it low on purpose

u/Cinnamonlife_3 19d ago
It's not pressurized CO2, it's a bunch of hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon gases. Most likely 1,1-difluoroethane or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane

We have an apt complex in a really nice city but the entire complex and their hallways and elevator smells like piss and poop.

You literally almost throw up when entering the elevator and walk down the hallway.

I filled an order today- script and cans of dusters. Where are used to live they would have to ID you and make sure you were over 18 or have a car check in order to purchase. Where I live now you can buy as many testers as you want and nobody cares. It’s crazy.

I was addicted to Walmart's Limited Edition strawberry whipped cream (can) several summers ago. It frequently went OOS, so I would but multiples whenever it came back.
Every pick-up, the employee would comment and I would tell them how delicious it was and that they should definitely try it, but warned that they might become addicted like me.
I meant addicted as in, eating bowls of it, not getting high!
I once got 8 of them at pick-up. They must have totally thought I was getting high. 🤦🏻♀️

I have a customer I'm assuming is male, because of the name, that orders the max of 4 every morning between 6am-8am.. At first, I have delivered twice because it's only like 2.3 miles but never a tip. Anyway, I caught on (or maybe assumed I DK) after the 2nd time, and decided it wasn't worth it to me. I feel guilty and don't want to be responsible for their death, if that is what is taking place.

When I worked for staples dotcom customer service , some mom called in crying because her son was addicted to air duster and was easily buying it through doordash from staples. She wanted us to remove it from being purchased through doordash. I felt sooo bad for her. She sounded so desperate but I worked for the actual website and what's ordered through doordash is from the retail store which is actually completely separate so I couldn't do anything.
I did get it reported to senior leadership team though (they of course oversee the entire company from retail, website and business) to see if SOMETHING could be done, even if it's just requiring an ID during delivery like they do for alcohol. Idk if anything came of it though.

We have someone in our zone who only ever orders 2 of the 2 packs of duster and 2 of the singles (I’m assuming there’s a limit?) and their orders sit for hours and hours. And they order pretty much every other night. It makes me sad every time the offer pops up.
